The San Antonio Spurs have re-signed Tim Duncan, bringing back the veteran forward for at least a 16th season. Terms were not disclosed in Wednesday's announcement, though Yahoo Sports cited anonymous sources in reporting it was a three-year, $36 million deal. Duncan is 36. The 6-foot-11 Duncan was selected by San Antonio with the first pick in the 1997 draft. In 15 seasons, Duncan has led the Spurs to nine division titles and the playoffs every year, including four NBA championships. He has two NBA MVP awards to go along with three NBA Finals MVP honors. Coach Gregg Popovich said the team was thrilled to make sure that Duncan will spend his ''entire career'' in San Antonio.

EPA Administrator McCarthy is going to be in Miami October 8 during or close to a King Tide and I suspect call the high tide of the year due to global warming. The reason for the name of King Tide is given by Wikipedia that follows this paragraph. If global warming is blamed on King Tide's, this will be another example of EPA distorting science to promote their damaging policies for the nation.
The September 24, 2014 New York Times (NYT) had an article by reporter Gail Collins "Florida Goes Down the Drain—The Politics of Climate Change". A more inflammatory title for the same article appeared in the September 27, 2014, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as "Florida soggier as GOP ignores climate change". Reading the articles shows the obvious intent to inject climate change into the November Florida elections—in particular the Governor's race between incumbent Republican Governor Rick Scott and Democrat candidate Charles Crist. Ms. Collins portrays Governor Scott as uninformed about climate change issues with regard to sea level rise.
The United States has been facing an economic malaise and severe foreign policy issues since the end of the last recession in 2009. Inept energy policies can be blamed for much of these problems. It is prudent for energy policy to be elevated to a number one issue in the 2014 and 2016 elections in order to restore the nation's economy and international leadership.
Environmentalists are enlisting minority groups such as African-Americans and Latinos to help them stop use of fossil fuels in the name of ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. They claim minorities suffer more from health effects due to fossil fuel use because they live closer to power plants. Thus we need to replace fossil fuel power plants with renewable energy sources of solar and wind. No thought is given to higher priced electricity that results from these energy sources and how this impacts minority communities.
For years the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been issuing onerous rules applying to the use of fossil fuels that has caused increases in energy prices and contributed to the[...]

At a Chicago fundraiser May 29, 2013, President Obama said "I don't have much patience for people who deny climate change." At his swearing in ceremony May 21, 2013, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz declared he is "not interested in debating what is not debatable." These remarks echo long-standing pleas of climate alarmists the "science is settled" with regards to burning fossil fuels causing catastrophic global warming.
Rewards of tax dollars for the renewable energy industry are so great it takes tax experts days of explanations to locate all possibilities. Additional subsidies are available from the federal government in forms of tax credits, loan guarantees, grants, and possible mandates for energy source use.

The Ukraine Crises is an example of future events until the United States develops fossil fuel energy production superiority. The Ukraine Crisis–just as the 1973 Oil Embargo– is a great gift to stop the environmental movement's eliminating fossil fuel production and insistence on relying on solar, wind, ethanol from corn, etc. as energy sources. These renewable energy sources are of no consequence in conduct of foreign policy. Do we want peace and prosperity or "green energy", poverty, and the possibility of nuclear war?
On February 12, the United States National Academy of Sciences (NAS) issued a news release inviting the public to a joint meeting with the UK Royal Society.
As Captain Renault said in the classic 1942 movie Casablanca "Round up the usual suspects", the usual crew of advocates for promoting abandoning fossil fuel use due to global warming fears are cited as authors of the report "Climate Change: Evidence & Causes".
Fossil fuel use is the lifeblood of developed industrial nations. It has eliminated hunger, poverty, lack of shelter, drudgery, and provided healthier, more comfortable, and longer lifespans. The United States is blessed by having over one hundred years or more supply of inexpensive or moderate cost deposits of each of the fossil fuels–coal, oil, and natural gas. Secretary Kerry, along with President Obama and his supporters, want to eliminate use of the nation's abundant, reliable, and economical fossil fuels and replace them with renewable energy sources–wind and solar–whose present state of technology make them expensive, unreliable, and impractical to scale up to the size of present fossil fuel capabilities. These policies will substantially lower the standard of living for Americans and condemn developing nations to perpetual poverty.

If the 2014 college football season runs true to Sports Illustrated's preseason crystal ball projections, the Oklahoma Sooners and Alabama would meet in a rematch of their January 2014 BSC Sugar Bowl game in one of the two College Football Playoff national semifinal contests that go into effect for the first time this season.
The Sooners are ranked No. 3 in SI's 2014 Preseason Top 25 rankings, behind top-ranked defensing national champion Florida State and the Crimson Tide. Ohio State completes the tip four in the SI preseason poll, with UCLA on the dubious five line, which sits on the outside looking in at the four schools that would qualify for the national playoff if the CFB selection committee, for example, were to hypothetically reach the same conclusion in it selection of the four playoff teams.
As in most preseason national polls, Baylor is projected as the second best team in the Big 12 this coming season. The Bears, who rolled to their first Big 12 football championship last season, are also ranked in the top 10 in the SI preseason poll, at No. 10. Kansas State, the 2013 Big 12 champion in football, is the only other Big 12 teams ranked in the SI Preseason Top 25. The Wildcats come in at No. 21.
SI.com writer Ben Glicksman says, "Oklahoma's win over Alabama in last season's Sugar Bowl showed what this yeat's Sooners could be. (Against Alabama) the Sooners rolled out an aggressive defense and a passer (redshirt freshman Trevor Knight) with Johnny-Manziel-like improvisation. Now they need to add a sense of consistency."
"There are heightened expectations in Waco after Baylor won its first Big 12 championship last year, " writes Colin Becht of SI.com in assessing Baylor coming into the 2014 season, "especially because senior quarterback Bryce Petty returns. Petty will have help from returning redshirt sophomore back Shock Linwood, who gained 6.9 yards per carry last fall, second in the Big 12…The Bears also bring back five of Petty's top six targets, a group that accounted for 75 percent of the 2013 receptions."
The only thing you have to say about why Kansas State deserves to be ranked 21st in the Sports Illustrated preseason poll is two words: Bill Snyder. The dean of the Big 12 football coaches knows how to win and he is able to get the very most out of whatever talent he has. Plus, the Wildcats return arguably the Big 12's second best quarterback in senior Jake Waters, along with one of the nation's most exciting all-purpose receiver/returner Tyler Lockett.
To fulfill its (top-25 ranking), "Kansas State needs a comprehensive ground game after losing its top two rushers, as well as production from four viable new starters in the front seven to complement Big 12 defensive player of the year Ryan Mueller," says SI.com writer Brian Hamilton.
At the same time Sports Illustrated announced its top 25 preseason college football top-25 poll, the magazine also came out with its preseason All-America team, which includes three Big 12 players as first-team selections: senior wide-receiver Antwan Goodley of Baylor on offensive, Oklahoma junior linebacker Eric Striker on defense and Kansas State senior Tyler Lockett on special teams.

Australia's Geekiest Man

An anonymous reader writes "Why have a key to open your front door when you can have an RFID tag implanted in your arm that will do the trick? Computerworld has a story up about the outgoing Linux Australia group president's hacked home, in which just about anything from watering the lawn, to opening his blinds, or checking the mail can be controlled through a software environment. Jonathan Oxer is an electronics and coding whiz who apparently has an RIFD tag implanted in his arm that opens his front door, and his front gate is hooked up with gigabit Ethernet — able to tell him when someone enters the property or send him a virtual email or sms to say he has real mail. Apparently the iPod Touch has just inspired him to begin linking all his little hardware hacks together into the one single, software controlled handheld touch device. I wonder if Steve Jobs ever thought the Touch would end up being used this way?"

Best Retro Game Compilation: 'Ratchet & Clank' HD for PS3
The quirky heroes are much of the charm.
CREDIT: Insomniac Games/Sony
Years ago, Insomniac Games teamed up with Sony for a new franchise called "Ratchet and Clank" on the PlayStation 2, featuring two unlikely heroes — a small but helpful robot and a wrench-toting Lombax — fighting to save the universe. The series then shifted on the PlayStation 3, culminating with last year's multiplayer-oriented "Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One."
Now Sony has released the "Ratchet and Clank HD Collection," bringing all three original games — the original "Ratchet and Clank" and the sequels "Going Commando" and "Up Your Arsenal" — back in high definition for $30.
Why We Like It
The "Ratchet and Clank" games have a certain charm to them, thanks to their quirky main heroes.
[SEE ALSO: Ghost Trick: A Whacky Mobile Mystery Game for iOS]
Ratchet, for example, can use his wrench not only as a tool but also as a projectile and a melee weapon. He can also wield a number of creative weapons, like guns that transform enemies into chickens. You can purchase more weapons using "bolts" that you collect in the game.
The diminutive Clank has his own uses, including displaying mission objectives through humorously constructed videos, and also serving as a helicopter, helping Ratchet reach higher platforms and float across wide gaps.
The "Ratchet and Clank" games feature a fine mixture of platforming and run-and-gun action as you visit each of the remarkable planets, and the controls keep up with the duo every step of the way, no matter how crazy the battles get. What's more, you can challenge friends online through "Up Your Arsenal's" online multiplayer via the PlayStation Network.
What really makes "Ratchet and Clank HD Collection" stand out is its presentation. Idol Minds, handling the game's high-definition conversion, has made each title more colorful than ever, with every planet showing more detail than the last. The characters look great too, as if they were pulled out of a Pixar film. And if you have a capable TV, all three games can be played in 3D as well.
[SEE ALSO: Cheaper 3D Boasts Titanic Entertainment]
Keep In Mind
Not every great "Ratchet and Clank" game is included in this collection. The action-packed "Ratchet Deadlocked HD" is sadly missing, though Insomniac Games has confirmed that it will be released as a standalone title for PlayStation Network later this year.
Also, the HD reformatting isn't perfect. While the planets look dazzling and most of the character animations show their stuff, there are very slight lip-synching issues.
Finally, the game does not come with a physical instruction manual. Instead, you'll have to access it digitally through the in-game media menu.
Bottom Line
For $30, "Ratchet and Clank HD Collection" is Sony's best classic-game package yet. It's loaded with gameplay value and the kind of presentation that shows why the series is still going strong today.
Key specs
- PlayStation 3 game system required
- Works with 3D-enabled TVs (PS3 game console already supports 3D)
- Online connection required for "Up Your Arsenal" multiplayer
- Minimal hard drive install space around 10 MB

Managing remote workers is tough especially if we don't have the necessary tools, but what if we have the tools but can't find time to use them. As a business owner, communication is everything when it comes to business so I communicate with my remote workers at least twice in a week.
For time and project scheduling, I'm using a tool called Replicon rostering software - www.replico n.com/olp/rostering-software.aspx . I've used to manage my remote staffs and good thing is that I can monitor how my staff are doing their work and how they are scheduling their time.

Flying Away
Ten tiny but healthy puppies left Tunica, not quite on a jet plane, but in style nevertheless aboard a TBM turboprop last week, bound for A Second Chance Puppies & Kittens Rescue in West Palm Beach, Fla. Just six days old when their mother was fatally poisoned, the litter was nursed for two weeks by a yellow lab named Sandy, then bottle fed by foster mom Donna Doernbach of Tunica, until they marked their 25th day on a Pilots 'N Paws flight piloted by Michael Germani of Ft. Lauderdale. Tunica Humane Society members saw the pups off from Tunica Airport to their new home Tuesday, a heartwarming happy ending to the orphans' story.

Driveway issue? (ZCP on order)

Driveway issue? (ZCP on order)
I have a new M3 E90 ZCP that is on order. It just finished up production, so hopefully should be here in 2 or 3 weeks. The waiting is driving me crazy...
Anyhow, while waiting, I have started to get nervous about whether I am going to have a scraping problem with my stupidly steep driveway. The attached pic shows it from four different angles. As you will see, its a really steep, weird driveway that is banked to the right. The good news is that while it is steep (about 20 degrees at the steepest point), the angle increases fairly smoothly.
First off, it goes without saying that the M3 will be taking the spot in the garage where the minivan is now, so that I can use the less steep side of the driveway. My plan of action is to approach from the left hand side side of the street (when looking at the head-on image in the upper left) at a 45 degree or more angle, and getting the left wheel up on the curb to raise up the front. Then I plan to gently swing the right wheel on the curb, while keeping the car to left side of the driveway as much as possible, as it is the least steep.
What I am most worried about is the transition from the less-inclined sidewalk part to the to the more-inclined driveway part (particularly in the middle). I plan on creeping along and putting the car in sport EDC mode, but I just am getting nervious that it might simply be too steep for the low front. I would think that backing in would be worse, as all the weight would shift towards the front, already the lowest part of the car.
Any thoughts on whether this is achievable or whether I am screwed? Alternatively, any thoughts on better approach angles to make this work? If it just is not possible with the stock ZCP, anyone know of way to raise up the ride height by 10mm to return to the non-ZCP height?

Halestorm Unplugged [VIDEO]
Still in recovery mode from X Fest 2012...and in a Halestorm kinda mood. But my head still hurts...a lot...so, a little unplugged Halestorm is in order...
Still in recovery mode from X Fest 2012...and in a Halestorm kinda mood. But my head still hurts...a lot...so, a little unplugged Halestorm is in order...
So, I narrowed it down to just under 100 pics from what I was able to take from 99X Fest. Here are the best of the bunch of pics that I was able to get.
In past 'Hottest Rock Babe' challenges, we've pitted Babe vs Babe in a round-robin tournament of sorts. This time, we're pulling out all of the stops. Welcome to the ROCK BABE (R)Octogan!!! 8 go in...one comes out. May the Hottest Rock Babe win!
Tristan is a normal 12 year old kid who loves playing guitar and listening to 99X. But something you may not know is that he has an 8-10 inch scar across his abdomen, has multiple visits to the hospital a year, is constantly on pain and experimental medication ($400-$600 a month of which insurance doesn't cover) and is scheduled to go back in surgery soon.
Halestorm's Lzzy Hale is no stranger to providing guest vocals in the rock world having collaborated with both Shinedown and Black Stone Cherry in the past. She most recently lent her voice to Adrenaline Mob's latest disc 'Omerta' for a cover of Duran Duran's 'Come Undone,' and now, it's rumored that she may get to add the new All That Remains disc to her resume.
99X Fest is only a week away! Hopefully you already have your tickets...but maybe you just put a new tranny in the '64 Rambler and you're busted. We've got you covered with 8 more chances to score FREE tickets to see Godsmack, Staind, Halestorm, and Man Made Machine at CenturyLink Center next Thursday (4/19).
With just a little over a week before Godsmack, Staind and Halestorm kick off their Mass Chaos tour on April 13, the three bands recently joined forces to talk about the tour and what fans can expect.
In the last 'Hottest Rock Babe' challenge, Amy Lee's (Evanescence) used her international fan base to bump off Lzzy Hale (Halestorm). This time, Amy won't have that advantage, as she goes up against an Italian metal goddess, Christina Scabbia of LaCuna Coil!

Re: skip be very careful...
I have been building, designing, modifying, and maintaining web sites for a dozen years...well actually almost 13 years now..
Areas you have to be concerned with are:
1. Content
2. Design
3. Coding
1. Content copyright in most cases belongs to the site owner.
If as the site developer I am asked to provide content then, depending on the source of it, I could claim copyright to that content. Generally it is turned over to the site owner and if not then the content will show som where on it that the copyright belongs to me or the lawful copyright owner if I sourced it from some other source.
So in modifying a sites content...as long as you have the owners permission to do so...you are free to do it...Just don't modify or alter any content that is marked copyright by a party other than the site owner.
The owner will be able to tell you if he/she added the content or supplied the content to the developer to add to the site, or if they left it to the developer to add content ....if it was left to the developer to provide and add content then you could have a copyright issue unless the site owner has something in writing or electronically saying the copyright to the content the developer contributed has reverted to the site owner.
Most sites will have a copyright at the bottom of the pages of the site.
If it states copyright is to the company business name you are pretty safe other than for content specifically marked copyright of someone other than the site owner.
If the copyright is only to the domain name then to be safe you should verify copyrights and use due diligence.
2. Design is a tricky area.
The developer could have purchased a template to work with...or done the design him/her self.
Generally if there is a design copyright other than the site owner it will be displayed at page bottom and generally with a link to the designers web site....this is a no touch area without express written permission from the design copyright holder.
If there is no design copyright claim on the page then you have to determine if it is a template that is used.
With regards to templates....if there is any mention on the web site pages of the template source then you need to investigate. Many free templates that require displaying the source of the template have a copyright to the free source and it will require looking at the source (site it came from) of the template to see what you can and can't do.
If there is no mention of the template then generally it was free of copyright restrictions, or was purchased with rights to makes changes etc.
It is always wise to look at the source code of the index page to see if there is any mention on it of template copyright....or where it was purchased from ..... and then investigate any copyright restrictions on the template.
Even if there is a design copyright the site owner still has the right to add content him / her self, or hire someone to add or change content as long as the design is not modified.
3. Coding
a. If the site uses a third party software to power it, it may very well be that the design was from a template supplied by the third party software...and if this is so it is going to be copyrighted....due diligence is needed to decipher where the copyright belongs in this instance and the rights of the user....but this does not stop one from adding, changing, or modifying site content as long as no mod is done to the template itself.
b. If the site was hand coded the code could be copyrighted (but this ties into the design aspect as html code is just html code).....but this does not stop one from adding, changing, or modifying site content as long as no mod is done to the design if it is copyrighted.
c. If the site uses multiple 3rd party scripts (not a 3rd party software that powers the whole site) to power different sections of the site and is part of the coding then the odds are the person doing the site could not claim copyright to it other than for design....and again this does not stop one from adding, changing, or modifying site content as long as no mod is done to the design if it is copyrighted.
d. If the site was developed specifically, and soley, for the web site owner whereas the developer wrote a script (program) for the web site (not talking html or css here) then one would have to very carefully scrutinize copyrights and rights given to the site owner.
Essentially ...unless a contract says otherwise...or unless a developer has 'complete' copyright to the design and content of a web site...the the site owner is free to add or modify the content him / her self, or hire someone to do it (with attention paid to any design copyright, programming copyrights,so as no infractions are committed).
One other are of concern to be aware of....some domains are only leased to the site owner (not by a registrar but by someone else who actually owns the domain name rights for use. Some of these people are rather unscrupulous..... and as most people don't bother to read fine print...there may be a small clause that the content of the site is actually owned by the domain name owner and not the person who has leased the domain name and developed and added the content....due diligence is required.
Re: How to fall into MONEY!!!
Hi Skip, I'm not to familiar too familiar in finding out what you talk about in the BLUE section. Could you please elaborate?
Twists and turns, yes, a report, free or paid, would be great!
There's also been a couple of great contributions about copyrights that is very valuable and should be included in the report and maybe elaborated upon, if the report comes to fruition.
Re: skip be very careful...
Hi Cornell,
Thanks for the crash course in copyright.
I knew some of what you said but I found a lot of good info in your post.
Thank you very much.

Re: How to fall into MONEY!!!
Hi Eve,
Thanks for asking.
In a nut shell what I want to do is find web sites that were designed and run by persons that no longer are available to run the site. Which means the business owner of that site NEEDS another designer right away!!!
Many of these owners will not have the knowledge to get into their site and will need my help. Also all of these business owners are going to need a new web designer
Example of a search that could turn up these sites:
May be a little morbid but it works.....
Enter this string into Google search.
"obituaries" + "web designer" + "self employed"
That will bring up 127 thousand results where SOMEBODIES web designer is no longer available.
Now you use some domain tools with the name of the designer to find the websites that he produced and you have hot prospects for this service. No, don't ask, what domain tools. Have to keep somethings to myself. But if you do a search for domain tools you will have an eye opener.
Best of success,

Re: How to fall into MONEY!!!
Thanks Skip for trying new things and taking action.
Here is an idea: Read a couple of tutorials and learn how to upgrade WordPress (its not that hard or time consuming).
1. Then find blogs and websites that use an older version of WordPress
2. Find their email addresses via WhoIs search
3. Send them an email with the offer: we'll upgrade your WordPress and make it more secure for $100
The conversion rate will be low than folks who don't have a password - because that is a more pressing problem. But the volume should be higher if you can automate the emailing part.
You could potentially do the same thing for Drupal and Joomla and Magento and vBulletin and other CMS systems too.
Learn from the lives of the rich and the famous: http://www.GeniusBiographies.com
Why I think this is brilliant...
I gotta say - this is one of the most brilliant posts I've seen!
What I really love is how you turned solving the problem into a "continuity" program, where you get paid every month for keeping everything running smoothly for them...
It's also "win/win" - everyone wins.
The way you've done it, it also turns into a monthly money-maker for you, with little extra effort required on your part (since you're planning to outsource part of it)...
Thanks for sharing this... It's brilliant thinking...
I think many people could retire on the money that could be generated with this idea alone!
Best wishes,
Re: How to fall into MONEY!!!
Ankesh I love that idea probably very little competition.
About how many do you have to contact to get a client?
I Know it may vary. Trevor
Re: How to fall into MONEY!!!
Its not something I have done. So I have no idea how many people you will have to contact to land a client. But it is something that can be automated - so contacting people shouldn't be time consuming.
This is just something that came to my mind when Skip shared his idea. It should be easier to find people who have out-dated WordPress installations than to find people whose designers don't respond anymore. And thats why I shared it - if anyone wanted to twist Skip's idea and test it out.
Here is one more tip: if you do indeed test this WordPress tweak out - then you don't want to use Google to do your research. You want to use a search engine that allows you to search through the "meta tags" of a website. WordPress embeds a meta tag in all their websites that gives the version number.
You want to search for the string:
"generator:wordpress 3"
in a meta tag search engine.
You can replace the number 3 with older WordPress version numbers too.
I personally have my hands full and don't intend to follow through with this idea.

HRC Supports Photo Project Featuring LGBTQ Community
September 1, 2011
Earlier this year, HRC partnered with photographer iO Tillett Wright on Self Evident Truths, a photographic documentation of the LGBTQ community that aims to raise awareness about equality.
She shot 350 portraits in New York City – on 35mm film in black-and-white, in natural light without any makeup or styling – but has her sights set on visiting 25 cities across America and taking photos of as many as 5,000 people.
To help raise the funds to make this happen, HRC is releasing a Self Evident Truths T-shirt series featuring five prominent members of the LGBT community – musicians Tegan Quin from Tegan and Sara, JD Samson from MEN and Bianca Casady from CocoRosie; artist Terence Koh; and designer Robert Tagliapietra from Costello Tagliapietra – who have courageously lent their faces and voices to the project.
The unisex T-shirts are selling for $29 and $5 from each shirt will go directly to the Self Evident Truths project. You can purchase the shirts at shop.hrc.org.
Wright is a self-taught, New York-based photographer who has curated shows both nationally and internationally and has had her work featured in publications such as the New York Times Magazine, The Huffington Post and New York magazine.
To view photos in the Self Evident Truths exhibit, watch the video below and visit www.facebook.com/SelfEvidentProject.

With the mysterious arrival of Babette, a refugee from France's civil war, life for two pious sisters and their tiny hamlet begins to change.

Just who is this strangely talented Babette, who has terrified this pious town with the prospect of losing their souls for enjoying too much earthly pleasure?

Of the famous twelve little girls living in two straight lines, the smallest one is fearless Madeline. But something is not right at the boarding school in Paris run by Miss Clavell: the house next door is now the Spanish Embassy, kind Lady Covington has died, and Lord Covington is busily plotting to sell the school! Madeline springs into action - befriending the lonely Spanish boy next door, refusing to eat a chicken she has personally met, and facing down Lord Covington as he escorts a prospective buyer through the school. Madeline's perceptiveness, courage, and willingness to stick to her principles--along with Miss Clavell's calm reserve--allow everyone to face their fears with similar aplomb, to thus save both the day, and the school

2 editions published between 1959 and 2011 in French and English and held by 319 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Simple, good-hearted country cousin Charles comes to study at the Sorbonne in Paris where he stays at the luxury apartment of Paul, his cynical city cousin. Charles works hard but fails his exams, Paul doesn't but passes and gets Charles's girl. Chabrol's second feature film re-unites Jean-Claude Brialy and Gerard Blain, the two lead actors from his debut feature, 'Le Beau Serge'. Paul (Brialy) is a hedonistic and confident Parisian student living in his uncle's fashionable inner city flat. He spends his time drinking, carousing, sleeping with a variety of female friends and playing the role of matchmaker for his friends, arranging trysts in an ongoing merry go round of bed partners. He is an emotionally remote and decadent man, adhering to a dubious moral code, who approaches his friends love lives with devilish detachment. Charles (Blain) is his naive country cousin, a dedicated student, who stays with Paul whilst studying for his law exams. When Charles is introduced to Paul's swinging set, he instantaneously falls for Florence, a beautiful woman who is intrigued by Charles' innocence. Paul is perturbed as he observes the attraction between the two and the respect that Charles displays for Florence. A clash is inevitable as the rivalry for Florences affection grows. The contrast between the two main characters morality is acute, especially in their attitudes toward women. A dramatic study of class conflict and personal responsibility 'Les Cousins' is a riveting and perverse study of decadent Parisian student life. The City of Lights is captured by Decae's camera as if seen through the amazed eyes of Charles. The film won the Best Film award at the Berlin Film Festival in 1959. Also available on 16mm

Mistral's daughter ( Visual )
1 edition published in 2009 in English and held by 160 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Beautiful and naïve Maggy Lunel arrives in Paris completely broke. She becomes an artist's model and the toast of Paris.

Their paths diverge as Mistral's art catches the eye of a rich American woman who becomes his patroness and eventually his wife. During the war years in France, Mistral collaborates with the Nazis in order to continue with his work, a decision that will come back to haunt him years later. At the same time, Maggy has a daughter named Teddy who grows up and falls in love with Mistral herself, with whom she has a child named Fauve. As Mistral ages, he comes to terms with his selfish past and wartime betrayal through his art, leaving a beautiful legacy for his daughter, Fauve

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - A Houston-based company that provides corrosion protection services for the oil and gas industry is planning to open a new plant in Scott.
Houston Plating and Coatings LLC says it will hire 120 people over the next five years to work at the new $9 million Lafayette-area facility. The company's chief executive officer and Gov. Bobby Jindal announced the plans Thursday, saying the jobs would have annual average salaries of $35,000 plus benefits.
The plant, to be operated by new subsidiary Louisiana Plating and Coatings, will supply its products mainly for oilfield service machinery to customers in Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Jindal's office says the company will get state business tax breaks, and the City of Scott will be applying for a $920,000 federal grant to help with construction costs.
